Another low gut shot. You can see the shot in the pic. Otis actually winded this deer and found it. We started out working the trail like normal but Otis was struggling to work his way through the search area. His motivation was there and he was working the hell out of it….but after 20-25 minutes I decided to see if I could help him out by circling the area. We were making a second pass about 100 yards out past the search area when I saw Otis’s head start bobbing in the wind and he took off across the creek we were coming up. As I crossed the creek and looked into the cane thicket on the other I side, I saw what had gotten his nose’s attention.
